📝 Anzu

Anzu is very light CLI tool for checking whether files have license header

Installation

• Without explicit permissions:
  • deno install https://deno.land/anzu@1.0.0/src/cli.ts -n anzu
• With explicit permissions:
  • deno install --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net https://deno.land/anzu@1.0.0/src/cli.ts -n anzu

📚 Why not deno_license_checker

I got discouraged from deno_license_checker because of several things, majorly:

• Its size – 177KB
• Performance
• Requirement of config file
• Doesn’t ask for permissions – they have to be specified otherwise it’ll exit

Anzu solves some of these problems:

• It’s significantly smaller – 27KB
• In my case its multiple times faster (benchmarks needed)
• Every option has to be set in CLI
• If you want to launch same command using one command – just create bash script that does that (see here)
• If permissions aren’t specified it automatically requests you for them

Why not Anzu?

• It’s not compatible with windows (Im 99.9% sure, but didn’t tested it)
• If you prefer having external config file Anzu probably isn’t for you

What can Anzu also do?

• Additionally it can load license template from given URL and Path
• It can search for license using RegExp
• Exclude files and directories using regexp
• You can see full functionality using -h option.
